2017 E-LEARNING SESSIONS

The eLearning training on Children’s Mental Health Screening for Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Staff providing children’s mental health screening and follow-up navigation services to the children’s mental health system is composed of three modules that must be completed in order. The entire course should take between one to three hours to complete. Step by step directions for registration.

Module 2 examines facilitating the screening process; participants will participate in the children’s mental health screening process by practicing how one offers screens, scores screens, delivers the results of a mental health screen, and then connects the youth and family to on-going mental health resources, if needed.

CMH Module 3: Documentation and Privacy

Module 3 provides instruction on how to document the screen appropriately so it is counted for audit and grant reporting purposes; there is a link to another online training concerning HIPAA and data privacy issues.
